Stuffed Boneless Pork Loin Chops

If you like the tang of creamy goat cheese, combined with a garlicky sun-dried tomato flavor, these stuffed loin chops are for you. For this recipe you will need either thick cut loin chops or a boneless pork loin roast, sliced it into 1½” thick chops. Sometimes it’s less expensive to do it this way. These stuffed chops are a family-pleaser and will be ready for the table in less than half an hour from start to finish.

Preparation

1. Preheat the Memphis Pellet Grill to 400 F

2. Cut a horizontal pocket into the side of each chop, being careful not to slice all the way through the chop. Set aside.

3. Squeeze the excess water out of the thawed spinach. You should have about ¼ C of compact spinach after the liquid is gone. Combine the spinach with the goat cheese, ricotta cheese, minced garlic and sun-dried tomato pesto.

4. Divide the stuffing into 4 equal portions. Stuff each of the chops.

5. Place the stuffed chops on the lightly oiled lower racks of the pre-heated Memphis and close the lid. Sear the chops for 4 minutes on each side to get nicely browned grill marks. At this point transfer the chops to a disposable pan and continue cooking (lid down) for 15 more minutes. The internal temperature should be 155 F for stuffed chops. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
